Sweden’s former Ryder Cup player Jarmo Sandelin made a solid start to life as a Senior golfer last year and he’s aiming on making a fast start to this year’s Staysure Tour at the Sharjah Senior Golf Masters presented by Shurooq, which gets underway at Sharjah Golf & Shooting Club on March 8 – 10.
Sandelin turned 50 after the inaugural tournament in Sharjah last year but has high hopes for his chances in this year’s event. “I have very good memories from playing in the UAE in the past,” said Sandelin, who made seven top 10 finishes in his Senior rookie season last year. “I held the course record at Dubai Creek and enjoyed a few low rounds at the Dubai Desert Classic. I haven’t played the course at Sharjah before, but it’s always interesting to come to a new venue.”
A member of the 1999 Ryder Cup team at Brookline and a five-time winner on the European Tour, Sandelin had been itching to get back into action on the Senior Tour after losing his European Tour card a few years ago.
